South Dakota is appropriating $2 million to the Department of Education to fund a nonprofit organization that will build and operate a facility providing therapy and educational services to students in alternative school settings in Brown County. The nonprofit must have experience offering integrated education and mental health services through partnerships with schools, and cannot use the funds for residential care or inpatient treatment. The bill declares an emergency so the funding can take effect immediately.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
The bill shifted from funding Department of Corrections construction of a juvenile corrections center to funding Department of Education grants to nonprofits for acquiring and equipping non-residential, school-based therapeutic services facilities for students.
The bill was reformatted from engrossed to enrolled status, removing legislative markup indicators and adding signature blocks for executive approval and state filing.
